FW: Blogger post failed

I have just spent an hour scanning the LinkedIn pages for the University ofBritish Columbia, looking for familiar names. I found two or three near thebeginning, and promptly sent them invites. The rest of the time wasfruitless; still, going through those names brought back a flood of memories- of rooms in engineering buildings, dormitory conversations, quietdiscussions in small libraries. It was a whole different world then, morecomplex than the present in many ways. I breathe deeply and low as Iremember those quadrangles, those roads, those long walks across the wintrycampus.
